Lord of Rot

Chapter 509 The Genius Girl Who Started a New Life (8)
"I know a story."

Li Qi picked up the obscene garment on the table, also called a corset. It was a whole piece of cloth with a string tied on it. Many women would wear this thing for their figure.

But don't think it will be very comfortable, because the pursuit of morbid beauty and slender waist, so the corset is equipped with a waist function and a tie rope for tightening.

In order to pursue sickly curves, many women's internal organs are actually deformed by this thing.

Just like Stacey, although he only caught it once or twice, he couldn't tell the size, and it was not good for his health. If it wasn't for the extraordinary and she didn't care much about her feminine charm, her body would have collapsed long ago.

As for Mrs. Jielin, she likes to dress empty, and she is already showing signs of sagging.

It's not good to wear it, and it's not good not to wear it.

The dwarf was by Li Qi's side. He had received a lot of tasks from Li Qi in the past few days. In fact, he himself was very surprised why Li Qi reused him so much. He didn't intend to take revenge himself, except for his brother Morton, he had no feelings for the old guys in the family, and even he felt that the tuna family was extinct.

From an objective point of view, Li Qi is definitely a good lord, but he is not very kind to the nobles.

But why reuse a gnome?This broke his inherent knowledge.

Since there was an opportunity for him to show off his talents and save his life, the dwarf did not refuse, and he had no choice. Moreover, his life was very good now. He even fished out a few aristocratic ladies who should have been executed, and kept them here. Having fun around them, they are also very nostalgic for this kind of life and are not willing to take off their gorgeous long skirts to go to work, so this is a deal that both parties are satisfied with.

What's the matter with the dwarf, a part is enough for the giant.

He couldn't understand why Li Qi suddenly asked him to promote this product.

"What story?" asked the dwarf.

"There was a rich businessman, he was very old, so he was going to marry a wife to bear children for himself, so he chose three women, and asked them to test, and gave them 1 gold day, let them buy things to fill up The whole room."

The dwarf raised his eyebrows. He also knew a lot about Li Qi's story. After all, although the porcupine collar is not as good as Donggang City at present, it is still very competitive in terms of product competitiveness. Some of the main products basically cover the range of women above the middle class. It can be said that he earned a lot of money, otherwise it would not be possible to develop rapidly from a barren porcupine collar to what it is now.

He would not think that the artillery on the ship was free of charge. The nobles of Monkey Island had also studied it before. In short, it was very expensive and ordinary nobles could not afford it.

So when Li Qi suddenly told a story that seemed to require thinking, the dwarf subconsciously raised his attention, preparing for the assessment later.

Li Qi put down the piece of cloth in his hand and said, "The first woman, she heard that wheat bran is very cheap recently, so she bought a large amount of wheat bran for 1 gold day, but unfortunately only filled one corner of the house."

"The second woman, she was very smart to buy expensive but fluffy cotton, but unfortunately the cotton only filled one-tenth of the house."

The dwarf became interested: "Where is the third woman?"

"The third woman," Li Qi said, "she bought a candle, lit it and filled the whole room with the candle's flame."

He looked down at the dwarf: "Guess which woman the rich businessman finally chose?"

"The third one," the dwarf said with certainty.

The answer is obvious.

Li Qi shook his head: "No."

"wrong?"

"wrong!"

"Which one is that?"

"The fierce one."

The dwarf was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly: "It's my choice too."

This was just a joke. Li Qi casually picked up a piece of underwear from the side. This was an underwear he copied based on his limited experience. Especially sports bras, it is really necessary to exist.

The dwarf asked with a strange expression: "So you really think this thing is necessary?"

It turned out to be just for fierceness, at least that's what he saw.

As for breast cancer, he didn't understand.

"It is necessary for women's health." Li Qi nodded: "It prevents sagging and reduces the incidence of disease."

There is a serious difference in the status of men and women in this era, and the status gap between people is bigger than that of humans and dogs. Li Qi can only help him see what he can't see, and he can't do anything about what he can't see.

And Li Qi doesn't think that underwear will not be sold, it will make you bigger, straighter, more attractive to men, and it is very comfortable to wear, how could it not be sold?

Although the outside world is in chaos, the war has not yet started, and the lives of ordinary people have not been greatly affected. At most, prices have begun to go out of control, fluctuating. Rich enough, giant feet are purely poor, and they can't afford it at all.

On the contrary, clothes, skirts, etc., are not so easy to sell due to the poor economy.

It is very important to generate income from the territory, especially in the textile factory. The Jenny machine has been reproduced one by one, and the efficiency has been greatly improved, but there is no production order. It is a waste.

With so many mouths waiting for food, although Li Qi had money and many ways to transfuse blood between the territories, the risk of losing money was still very high.

"I'll try to see it," said the dwarf. He couldn't see the use of this thing for the time being, so it might be more interesting to let those women wear it while playing.

A woman tried it on just now, and it really caught his eye, and he even wanted to get two pieces to bring back to wear for the few women he raised.

Li Qi nodded. What he valued the 'dwarf' Lehrer was the businessman ability of the other party. It was more than a step higher than the 'lucky boy' Joe. Joe was not bad in terms of conservative planning, but he was really not good at opening up business routes and negotiating business. .

"I want you to push it all over the continent of Lurea, and you will definitely have to travel far. I will send a few extraordinary people to protect you, and I will provide enough funds. Don't let me down."

The dwarf said, "I'm a professional at selling things."

After bending down and patting the dwarf on the shoulder, Li Qi left.

It happened that the textile factory was getting off work, and the female textile factory workers who were filing out to go home for lunch saw Li Qi and took the initiative to stand up and say hello to him.

Li Qi nodded lightly as a greeting. After seeing a certain figure, he paused, smiled at the person, nodded, and strode away.

Lika was stunned for a moment, and quickly nodded to Li Qi. Seeing the figure of Li Qi leaving, she couldn't help being dazed. She didn't expect the lord to still remember herself.

She is one of the playthings of the nobles that Li Qi accidentally rescued on Monkey Island. Unlike other nobles, Mrs. Li Qi has no perverted hobbies, assembling corpses is not counted, at least in terms of sexual orientation, he is still normal, and he has not tortured people's hobbies.

After a busy day, she was scolded many times by the team leader for making mistakes, but she resisted everything, except that her eyes were a little red.

This was her job after she was reborn. She left the narrow room that seemed magnificent but was actually full of oppression and was like a prison, and came to a place where she could see the sky at will.

As long as you work hard, you can have enough to eat with your own efforts. This is something that you dare not think about in Monkey Island. In most places, you can't get enough to eat with hard work.

The income is really good, because she works very hard, compared to some people who earn enough to eat, she will work hard.

Not to mention that she used to be a slave and had no property of her own at all.

Following the team to leave the textile factory, Lika saw several carriages heading towards the textile factory, with huge silkworm cocoons placed on them. They were a kind of monster silkworm raised by the porcupine collar. The silk they drew was the main ingredient for her work. Materials, but that is not the work she is responsible for, and the insect meat inside is said to be very expensive and is only sold in small quantities on the market. It is very helpful to the body. She has always remembered this news until she paid the money today. Want to buy some to try.

Arrive at the commercial district of Porcupine Collar.

Although there are no new or exaggerated buildings on the whole, many shops have been opened in the business district. In theory, everything you want to buy can be bought here.

As for selling it along the street like other towns?

Absolutely not allowed.

Either go to the vegetable market to occupy a stall, or rent a shop with money. You think it is convenient to sell goods on the road with a lot of traffic, and I think it is convenient, and the rules are necessary.

Not only commercial transactions are not allowed here in the business district, but also at the port.

In many port areas, there are actually many small stalls selling oysters that make quick money. Sour vinegar with oysters is a very famous snack. Porcupine collars are absolutely not allowed, and neither are wandering vendors.

Of course, strict requirements also have the advantages of strict requirements. The crowd will not be so complicated, and even petty thefts will be reduced a lot. In particular, the "little mouse" operation adopted by Li Qi is basically inoperable.

A child does not stay at home, does not go to work in a factory, and if you wander outside, you are telling others that you have a problem. No one in our porcupine collar wanders outside.

This makes it really difficult for anyone to sneak in. After all, the area where everyone moves every day is very fixed. Basically, they leave from home or dormitory, go to work, and then go to the vegetable market to buy food, and then return. Family, this is also the reason why other lords are helpless towards the porcupine collar.

Knowing that the porcupine collar has a lot of good skills and good things, but there is no way to mix people in, and the porcupine is crazy, and it will explode when touched, which makes many nobles very helpless.

The most helpless thing is that I can't beat him, but I am so greedy that I can only drool pitifully and have no choice.

They dare not provoke porcupines.

Lika bought some bread, and went to the vegetable market to buy some meat. She really didn't dare to imagine this kind of life before, allowing people to eat meat freely, even if it's just a small bite. This kind of territory is simply like a dream.

On the contrary, it is taxes, which basically no one can afford as long as they work hard.

When leaving the vegetable market, after seeing a certain shop, Lika subconsciously stopped, and then walked over: "How do you sell these silkworm meat?"

A large piece of meat is divided into large pieces, white, and looks a little bad. It is the chrysalis in the cocoon of the textile factory. It has no bones, and it feels strong after eating, but the price is too expensive.

The shop owner is a young woman, who has been reading a certain book, and then writing and drawing on another piece of paper, as if she didn't notice Lika's arrival.

"Good day" Lika tried her best to make her voice louder than a mosquito, it sounded a little louder, but it was still buzzing.

The other party finally heard her voice and raised his head: "What do you want to buy?"

"This" Lika pointed to the white meat: "Is it really good for the body? It seems like it was seriously injured."

The female boss put down the pen in her hand and nodded: "Well, it is not only good for the body, but also stimulates the body's potential. Now some of the soldiers under the lord are eating this every day."

"Every day?" Lika was taken aback. She knew how expensive this item was, only 1 silver month per piece, and it wasn't something she could buy just because she wanted to.

Of course, most people won't buy it, because those who are qualified can directly join the army and can eat it every day. Those who are not qualified have to pay for it themselves if they want to be healthy or enjoy themselves.

"I want a piece" She happened to have money.

Lika planned to buy some for her sister who lived at home to help her take care of her body.

The female boss got up and took a piece, and then found a piece of paper to help wrap it up. Now paper is not an expensive thing. With 5 people from Monkey Island being taken in, although most of them stay in Monkey Island, human resources are Really improved.

Production is increasing crazily in all aspects, which is why the lord must find ways to open trade routes.

Manpower and technology have been improved, and production has also increased, but in addition to internal digestion, it also has to be sold out. After all, Porcupine collar has always followed the industrial route, and many things are not within the reach of ordinary people. Mr. Li Qi At present, it can only barely solve the food and clothing problem of the territory.

"Are you learning to write?" Lika glanced curiously.

"Are you from Monkey Island?" The other party was a little surprised.

Lika nodded, pinching the corner of her clothes nervously, lest she be looked down upon.

The first batch of people who came back from Monkey Island with the lord were not many, most of them were slaves who had been tortured badly. Low self-esteem, even having nightmares every night after falling asleep.

"You can go to the castle to study night school every night." The other party said: "If you want to learn, it is very popular to go to school, but many people give up because of too hard work. It does not cost money to study in the castle, but it takes time." You have to squeeze yourself, there are many benefits of reading, if you want a better job, you must know how to read..."

The other party talked freely, and Lika listened with fascination to what the other party said about life, the benefits of reading, etc.

She had never thought about learning calligraphy for free before. She remembered that in her distant memory, before she became a slave, it was one morning when she was with her father. She was sitting on the carriage preparing to pick the mushrooms and wild wildflowers that she had picked overnight. The fruit was sent to the market to be sold, and then he met a bard, who gave him a few bronze stars and asked for a ride. Of course, his father would not refuse.

The other party was carrying a lute, and holding a small book with something rare written on it.

Lika was very curious and peeked aside. The bard discovered her behavior and taught her two words, but her father found out about it, and she was reprimanded by him.

Not being able to learn is the fate of inferior people like them.

Not only is it free to study here, if you have good grades, you can even apply to become a steward. It is said that some people are qualified to cast magic. The female boss seems to be very keen on using magic.

The female boss gave a lot of examples about magic, such as things flying around without using your hands, making chairs turn into kittens, etc. It sounded very magical.

"It's a pity that I don't have the qualifications." The female boss said, "By the way, if you want to take night school, go to the small square after get off work today and I will take you to the castle."

"Is it okay for anyone? Is it okay for people with disabilities?" Lika asked.

"Of course, in fact, there are a few disabled people in the steward. They lost their hands and feet in the war with the lord." The female boss said, "Now they are still big men."

When it comes to 'big shot', the female boss's attitude is indifferent, as if in her eyes it is not a rare event for an ordinary person to become a big shot.

"I'll bring Hull with me tonight!"

After Lika put down a silver moon, she quickly left with the white meat.Back to the assigned double dormitory, just opened the door, a pungent smell came.

Lika hurried in, closed the door, put down her things, and ran to the bed.

Lying on the bed was a skinny girl with no hands or feet. After seeing Lika, she shed tears: "Lika, I can't even go to the toilet."

Lika pursed her lips, and quickly changed the girl's clothes and scrubbed her body: "I'm sorry, I was delayed for a while because of chatting with others. If I could come back sooner, it wouldn't be like this."

"Kill me, I don't want to live like this."

"We can learn magic and read books!" Lika hugged the girl on the bed, gently put her head on her lap, and told all the stories she heard from the female boss, including learning and magic. she.

Finally she said: "We escaped from that hell together, are you really willing to die like this? The outside world is beautiful, our life is getting better, isn't it?"

"But I will drag you down."

"No way!" Lika pointed to the vegetables she bought on the ground: "There is meat, I bought it with my own money, hehe, it's amazing! When we go to night school tonight and learn magic, you have always been very good!" You are smart, maybe you are more qualified than me, you should take good care of me then."

"Can I?"

"Of course, you are Lika's Hull." Lika hugged the girl.

The girl also said: "You are also Lika from Hel."

After eating silkworm meat, Hull's complexion changed significantly.

"I feel so strong in my body!" Hull said in surprise.

Lika clapped her hands: "I will continue to buy tomorrow!"

"It must be very expensive, this kind of magical meat." Hel asked worriedly: "We actually eat so well, we just need to eat enough."

"Not at all, I was praised for going to work today!" Lika said: "When you are full, we will go find sister Gazelle after a while, and she will take us to the castle."

……

"There is no need to mine any more minerals!"

Porcupine Castle, study.

Li Qi was looking at the information sent back from Monkey Island, and he had finally sorted it out after so many days.

Monkey Island also has something. After all, the territory is huge, far from being comparable to Porcupine Collar and Iron Valley.

The islands in the sea are actually very rich in products, especially seafood, which can barely support people. Although the land does not grow much food, there is a small mine.

But now after Li Qi took over and investigated, he found out that the so-called mine lode had long since been abandoned, and the little things dug up could not even afford the bread that the miners ate.

Li Qi is not an oppressive lord. There is no need for others to starve and work for him. If he can afford it, he should go through the test in his heart first. Otherwise, it would be too miserable to have to go against his inner thoughts in a new life. He just wants to live happily by himself.

"That island has been excavated for countless generations. Its geographical location is not bad. It can be used as a harbor for us to anchor. It can also move the trading market from Porcupine Collar. That place is more suitable for trading, and we are safer at sea, but in the end The important thing is to cultivate the first batch of extraordinary people first."

What you say is all false, and the truth is that you have strength under your hands. Otherwise, why Earl Bailong, who has been a tortoise for most of his life, suddenly dared to assassinate the king, was not because he did not know where to get a dragon.

But seeing him cowering so much, Li Qi was a little doubtful whether a dragon really had the ability to make the final decision.

Everything will have to wait until Bailong appears.

"As for the 5 people, they will be slowly moved out after being educated in batches. A shabby place like Monkey Island cannot use too many people."

Among the territories owned by Li Qi, the land with the richest resources is the land of water streams. It used to be embarrassing to be blatant, but it doesn't matter now. It would be a waste to keep the treasured land without developing it.

Even for the Porcupine Territory, which has the smallest territory, the currently developed part is very small. Even if all 5 people were placed in the Porcupine Territory, it would not be a big problem. The Porcupine Territory also covers an area of ​​about 500 square kilometers, and the terrain is relatively flat.

But the actual situation in this world is that large towns account for [-]% of the population, and most of the areas are deserted and uncared for.

Before Li Qi traveled through time, there were only about 200 people in the Porcupine Territory, while the Royal City was home to tens of millions of people, and some areas were even worse than the Porcupine Territory.

After the steward left, Li Qi looked at Stacie who was sitting aside without speaking. She had just arrived this afternoon.

There are three women in one drama, and one of them is his fiancée, so Li Qi has always been a headache for the three of them.

Why did it develop like this?

Li Qi knew Stacey's ability very well. He was an absolute general on the battlefield, the kind who could lead the team to victory, and his own strength was also very good among extraordinary people.

As for the ability to govern...as long as you can fight, you are a good lord. There is no need for any ability to govern. If you are dissatisfied, just fight.

This is why Li Qi chose to kill Monkey Island. When I was not as strong as you, I would definitely use various strategies, but now that I am suppressing you, I am too lazy to use my brain. If you don't accept it, I will kill you.

Hong Qiangwei and Hyacinth Lan stay in Tiegu.

Li Qi asked: "How about Linta Bay and the Mother River?"

"Win, your people have gone back one after another," Stacy said.

Her mentality changed quickly, and her surname is still Wisdom, but she will change her surname to Clarence in a short time. Although she is happy for her brother, she is not too excited, and then said: "Bode wrote a letter saying that some The spoils will be sent to Iron Valley."

"Well, we can't let go of the Mother River easily, but let Bode and the others pay more attention. After all, Earl White Dragon is very likely to keep an eye on the Mother River. If you get some benefits, stop it. Don't let Earl White Dragon Keep an eye on it.”

An Earl of Bailong who doesn't follow the rules and uses assassination methods is actually very troublesome. The most troublesome thing is that the bastard hides the dragon and doesn't show it.

I always like to hide clumsiness, so Li Qi hates others to hide clumsiness the most.

Li Qi said and got up and walked towards Stacy.

Stacy, who was still serious just now, suddenly became nervous, watching Li Qi slowly approaching, her body tensed.

Li Qi bent down and leaned close to her ear: "Have you changed it?"

Stacie was so nervous that she subconsciously gasped through her mouth, but soon her mouth was blocked and she couldn't breathe. She seemed to have forgotten that she could breathe through her nose, until she felt a big, wanton hand.

Stacy plays a big role in why Reacher makes underwear.

For the convenience of training, Stacey even tightened the cords of the corset, which almost turned her chest into an iron block, without shaking.

Li Qi accidentally discovered this when he tried his hand without armor by chance.

After untying the shackles, it's scary, and you're about to suffer from gigantism. What do you mean by twigs bearing fruit!

That's why Li Qi researched this small piece of clothing that is extremely healthy for women for the health of women, and also for his fiancée.

He even plans to launch various styles in the future. He really doesn't like to come up naked, which is boring.

In fact, Stacie didn't need to answer. Just because she couldn't see the toes of her toes when she lowered her head, she knew she must be wearing them.

The two are not married yet, so they have never slept together. Stacie is a devout believer of the Four Gods, and Li Qi is a believer of the Four Gods who pretends to be very devout. The rules must be followed, and he is not in a hurry. He is very busy with everything. of.

Besides, it can be said that Stacy was almost eaten except for being eaten.

It was also for this reason that she came here, and seeing each other every day is like three autumns.

knock knock!

A knock on the door woke up the drunk Stacie. She pulled Li Qi's hand out of her arms and arranged her hair with a blushing face.

"Come in!"

"Sir! Hahaha!" Scholar Thomas rushed in excitedly, and then saw the future lord's wife, who was blushing and sitting on the chair, and the lord, who was pretending to look at the scenery.

My heart skipped a beat, knowing that I had just done something extraordinary.

Scholar Thomas pretended that he didn't know anything, and said, "My lord, what a young man!"

……

"100 spiritual power units, are you sure?" Li Qi followed Scholar Thomas, and Stacie followed behind.

After she came into contact with magic, she also gained some understanding. She knew that ordinary spell caster apprentices actually have less than 5 points. This is the result of training. Most of them have 2 points of spiritual power units, which can be regarded as talented. 100 The unit must be talented.

Compared to Stacie's ignorance, Li Qi was really shocked.

Even though his current mental power units have skyrocketed as he gets closer and closer to the palace level, they are still only 155 units. Don't forget how many medicines he, Mr. Li Qi, has taken, how many benefits he has obtained, and the black dragon contract. Help, improve qualifications, etc.

100 spiritual power units, it can be called a natural magician.

When we came to the "office" in the castle that Li Qi specially packed up for the teachers, many rooms in the castle were unused and there were many empty rooms.

Push the door open and there are two girls inside.

One pinched his clothes cautiously, his clothes were completely soaked with sweat.

The other was placed on the table because she had no arms or legs.

They came back with Li Qi. The reason why Li Qi was so angry that he wanted to kill all the Monkey Island nobles was because he saw their miserable condition. There are also a few poor pregnant girls who are being nursed back to health by the pharmacist. Will they survive? It's hard to say, anyway, Mr. Li Qi is not short of money, he just needs to feel comfortable with himself.

The two people in front of them are the most different among them. The girl named Lika said that she can make money by working alone and take good care of Hull. Li Qi only gave a little help and agreed.

In a situation like Hull's, the probability of survival is very low. It's not that you can't spend money on raising him, but he really can't withstand years of abuse, having his hands and feet broken off, and most importantly, just recently.

It's more important to make her happy.

"Lord, lord!" Lika looked at Li Qi nervously. She and Hull were really grateful to the lord who saved them.

"take it easy"

Li Qi walked up to Hull, raised his hand and gently rubbed her little head with little hair: "I remember your name is Hull?"

"Yes" Hel nodded shyly.

"Your talent is very good and should not be buried. You should stay in the castle from now on," Li Qi said, "Follow Scholar Tonks and learn magic well."

"Ahem!" Scholar Thomas reminded him with a dry cough, meaning that I discovered the talent, so how can I cut off the beard?

Li Qi seemed to have just remembered Scholar Thomas: "Oh, you can also learn runes, magic circles, etc. from Scholar Thomas. Don't learn magic from him."

As long as he can learn from himself, Thomas Scholar is still very satisfied, and he is not a magician.

If you have strong spiritual power, you can try a lot. Sometimes it's not that you don't have enough knowledge to learn it, but that you don't have enough mana. There are many people who can memorize the spell, but only a few people can release it. This is talent.

"Can I live with Lika?" Hel asked cautiously.

"Of course, Lika also lives in the castle." Li Qi nodded and said, "Lika is responsible for taking care of you for the time being, but I hope Lika can study hard and find a good job."

On the way here, he also heard from Thomas Scholar that Lika wanted to go to night school to learn how to read. It happened that Thomas Scholar revised the version and invented a gadget, so Hull, who was not taken seriously by anyone, showed a terrifying ability.

As for having no hands or feet?

What do the hands of the mage do? For ordinary apprentices, using the hands of the mage is very laborious, but for Hel, who has 100 spiritual power units, it is really no different from using his own hands and feet. After subsequent training, her The upper limit is definitely more than that.

"Yeah!" Hull nodded excitedly, and she was very satisfied with Li Qi's arrangement, she knew that Lika wanted to learn to read.

"Go back to class first, and I will ask someone to arrange for you to stay."

Li Qi and others left, leaving two excited little girls behind.

"That's great, Hel!"

"Well, that's great!"

　As soon as the introduction was announced, I lost track of time while reading the novel.
